Day 23 We moved from the campsite to a hostel before heading to the beach, to catch some rays. Mid-afternoon the sky went dark so we decided to head to the Koala Hospital to watch the sick and injured koalas recieving their 3pm feed. On our way there the heavens opened and we got soaked. It was still cool to read about and see the great work that the volunteers do to save this animal. They even foster them into their own homes. Both parents ... were bringing ba...

Day 22 We left Newcastle today for Port Macquarie. Our train wasn't until 2 so we headed down to Nobby's Beach to have a walk up to the lighthouse.

First stop was the Obelisk, this is the highest point in Newcastle and was a popular viewing point for Hayleys comet. Lorna was more interested in the palm tree branch she found, and tried to joust Al with it. From here we walked down to the Bogey Hole. On the way Lorna decided to roll down the hill....act...
